See a penny pick it up

I wore glasses from 1976-2015. My mom always told me I was beautiful, even amongst the children who would taunt me about being"four eyes"

After I had eye surgery to implant lens in 2015, I started getting comments from friends and foes about how beautiful my face was and why did I cover it all those years (like I had a choice).

I guess after 5 years my mom forgot what I looked like in glasses.  

Yesterday at her house there were two pennies waiting to be picked up for luck in her driveway.  She took one I took the other.  I was trying to read the date on her American penny, and couldn't find the date on my Canadian one.  I asked Tarzan for his readers.

Mom, "I want a picture of that - you look old".

I guess I'm a beautiful old person. 🥰
